Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! We are issuing a distress call for our dreadful system of money, which is structurally incapable of serving our people and planet. Earth is warming and its species, oceans, and ecosystems are dying. Our government and people are drowning in debt; wealth inequity is growing exponentially; wars are multiplying; and the money supply is bigger than ever. Yet we are told that there is simply not enough money to care for our people and planet!

We all need money to survive in modern society, yet few of us know who creates our money and how it is created. Most of our money is created out of thin air by private banks as debt when they loan it to us and charge us interest for their privilege. It doesn’t have to be this way! The Federal Reserve System oversees, assists, and protects this system of private bank-created debt-money. Its main job is the protection of this privatized dysfunctional system.

AMI supports a transition away from our current debt money system to a just system of publicly created money. We invite you to join us in Chicago on Saturday, May 18th, 2024, for the “Mayday for Money!” March and Rally. We’ll begin gathering at 11:30AM at the Calder Flamingo Statue and march at 12PM to the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. Related outreach, educational, and social activities will go on May 17th-19th for all available.
